It's interesting to read that all the below, whom I respect, do at least like the ECC99, as I do. I currently use an ECC99 as a CCS for a 6SN7-based driver, but I have been thinking of constructing an Allen Wright SLCF, using all ECC99s, (for CCS, for driver, and for constant voltage source). I had some hesitation to replace the 6SN7 in the role of driver, because that tube has always been a great favorite of mine, but the slightly lower output Z and higher current afforded by the ECC99 makes it tempting. I use cascoded ECC99s as CCSs in my Atma-sphere preamp, too.
